A lot of you are hotlinking images on the web in your signature file. While I have let this go in the past, I must say that hotlinking images from someone elses website without their permission may not be in your best interest. Please be aware that some sites may prevent hotlinking and others may frown upon it. If in doubt on whether or not you may hotlink an image, please contact them. I doubt they will give you permission. Some will though, if you leave all code intact. I think photobucket is one of these, but please check with their terms and conditions.

As far as pictures go CK you can post them no problem that's what Photobucket is for...Photobucket does have a stipulation in their Terms of Sevice forbidding commercial use, I wasn't sure if your signature would be considered commercial use so I have your signature hosted with Imageshack which does not mention the issue in it's Terms of Service.

1) some websites have bandwidth limits that, if they go over, they pay up the .. umm you know.. for extra fees. When we (I am guilty of it myself sometimes) link other sites pictures it still uses THEIR bandwidth to show them on My Fishing Pals

2) of course, the other major thing is webdude getting sued over copywritten material being posted here without permissions; which he spelled out already.

Even a BAD day of fishing is better than a good day of work; paydays excluded!
